Re: [LAU] arch users?

Josh Lawrence wrote: I installed arch last summer and just switched back to ubuntu. For my needs it seems ubuntu performs just as well as arch (I'm even running the standard ubuntu kernel here), and running the more non-standard selection of software I had going under arch means little strange things keeps poping up. Like, not being able to get in contact with renoise after a fast render to disc. Like not being able to compile a working miniAudicle. Like my beloved transcribe! segfaulting. Like wines jack output suddenly not working anymore. These problems are not archs fault, more a result of the bleeding edge nature of an arch box. But for now I decided my life is too short to stuff like that. I need my tools (renoise, miniAudicle and transcribe! for instance) to work, I am willing to invest an reasonable amount of time in getting there, but I was getting nowhere. Basically in my experience, a rt configured (limits.conf + user in audio group) ubuntu with all the bells and whistles (gnome, compiz, tons of deamons) performs just as well in real time as the bare bone arch.
